President Donald Trump said on Jan. 26 that the recent layoffs at BuzzFeed and HuffPost are the result of “fake news and bad journalism” and suggested that other outlets may suffer the same fate.

“Fake News and bad journalism have caused a big downturn. Sadly, many others will follow. The people want the Truth!” Trump wrote on Twitter.

BuzzFeed and HuffPost laid off more than 1,000 employees in the week leading up to the president’s message. BuzzFeed laid off 15 percent of its workforce, or about 200 staffers, according to a memo sent to employees obtained by The New York Post. Verizon, HuffPost’s parent company, announced a 7 percent workforce cut in its media group, which also contains Yahoo and AOL.

The head of U.S. Army acquisitions said Thursday that allowing artificial intelligence to control some weapons systems may be the only way to defeat enemy weapons.

U.S. military has embraced AI, arguing that America cannot compete against potential adversaries such as Russia and China without the futuristic technology.

Concern over placing machines in charge of deadly weapons has prompted military officials to adopt a conservative approach to AI, one that involves a human in the decision-making process for the use of deadly force.

But Bruce Jette, assistant secretary of the Army for Acquisitions, Logistics and Technology (ASAALT), said it may not be wise to put too many restrictions on AI teamed with weapons systems.
